Q: Itching Like Mad At Night

Ive been waking up in the middle of the night itching for a while now. I changed my sheets and pillow case today and it got worse however thats possible. I get these tiny little dimples around the areas that were itching so it has to be something biting me.

I had a shower today but i didnt wash my hair. I never do im a lazy health questions. Could I be carrying fleas or mites in my hair? If so why do they only bite me at night after i go to sleep.

The beds old but im in Canada. I dont think we have bedbugs here. Plus the little spots that come up are tiny and theres hundreds of them. If there were that many bedbugs in my bed id have something to worry about.

Its more like flea or mite bits. Theyre almost microscopic the marks left by them.

When I had my house infected by bedbug I called for a PCO who did his job and left us relieveed ....but for a few days only. Then they re appeared and have started attacking us. Went to seek advice from a friend of mine who had the same problem who suggested eradicating the problem before throwing away the things. My god!those fellow over there claims to remove the bugs and give sufficient treatment so that they would never reappear again. Couldn't control myself from inviting them. Will get back to you soon if something substantial is found .
